This map shows the geographic extent of existing and in progress 3DEP data acquisition projects as of March 2020. FY20 projects are the result of partnership projects awarded through the FY20 3D Elevation Program (3DEP) Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) and though ongoing Federal coordination via the 3DEP Working Group.

By the end of this lesson, you will be able to load multiple LAS files, define and use a polygon area of interest to subset LAS files, and generate and export raster surfaces and contours derived from the LiDAR point cloud.
